If you have been injured on the job, or you have a medical condition which prevents you from working on a regular basis, resulting in a loss of income to you and your family, the last thing you need is to be faced with the task of trying to determine your rights and what income benefits may be available to you.

The legislation governing workers' compensation benefits, Canada Pension disability benefits is complex and often hard for the average person to understand. At Brown Beattie O'Donovan LLP, our compensation and benefits team has developed expertise in the areas of workers' compensation claims and Canada Pension disability claims. We make it a point to keep current on the legislation in this area; to know what benefits are available to our injured clients, and how to make the system best work for our clients.

We have also developed expertise, and a successful track record, in acting for our clients on workers' compensation appeals and Canada Pension appeals in instances where benefits have initially been wrongfully denied to individuals who have a medical condition or have been injured at work, and are rightly entitled to receive monetary benefits as a result.

The focus of our benefits team is to ensure that our clients receive what they are entitled to under the compensation and pension regimes in place, and that they do not become the victims of bureaucratic error or a complex system of legislation and requirements, which are often hard to comprehend.

If you require assistance with WSIB or CPP disability claims or are just in need of general information, please do not hesitate to call Paul Linley of our benefits team.
